The police must have arrested him and locked him in this cell. He had tried to escape through the kitchen but they must have caught him. The last thing he could remember was seeing two big, angry-looking policemen entering the restaurant. She must have thought that he had gone completely mad.
He had then tried to persuade Mavis to dance with him but she had started to cry and had run out of the restaurant. The waiter had asked him to sit down but Harry had pushed him over, causing him to drop several plates of food. He saw himself dancing wildly in the middle of the busy restaurant to his favourite Abba song, Dancing Queen. Suddenly, and with great embarrassment, Harry remembered more of what had happened the previous night. He read the label, which said “Warning! Do not mix with alcohol!” Then Harry remembered that his doctor had prescribed some powerful painkillers for Harry’s bad back, but the doctor can’t have mentioned that it was dangerous to mix them with alcohol and Harry must have forgotten to read the instructions on the packet. To his surprise, he found a small packet of pills. Harry sat up on the hard bed and put his hand in his pocket. It was their second date and things were going well but something must have gone wrong during the meal. He had gone to a nice Italian restaurant with Mavis. Then Harry started to remember a little about the night before. “ I must have drunk too much last night but… no, I can’t have drunk too much because I never drink more than one glass of wine.” But how did I get here?” Poor Harry could not remember anything at all! His mouth was dry and he had a pounding headache. “Oh no, I can’t be dreaming – this is really happening! This really is a police cell.
“ I must be dreaming ,” he thought, “this looks just like a police cell!” He closed his eyes again, then realised with a shock that he was lying on a hard bed in a small room with bars on the window and a large metal door. Harry opened his eyes slowly and looked around the room. (By Brendan O’Connell and Jane Lawson at )
